At the time, Taker was the World Heavyweight Champion and was scheduled to take on five other wrestlers in a cage made of steel chains and a glass chamber on each corner of the ring. He’d have to win the match in order to retain the title and head over to WrestleMania. However, things got really bad, really quickly when Taker was making his iconic entry, wearing his leather overcoat and a hat, surrounded by fog and pyrotechnics. As the wrestler moved past once of the flame-throwers, it blasted a ball of fire right in his face. Noticing that his coat was burning, he quickly took it off, removed the hat and continued walking towards the ring and into the cage. While waiting for his turn to come out of his chamber, he kept pouring bottles of ice-cold water on his face and chest area to keep the pain at bay. © WWEAnd once the doors opened, he put on a show like nothing happened. You could see his chest burning red but he went on with the show as rehearsed. By the time Taker and Chris Jericho were the only two guys inside the ring, it was crimson. He’d then take an “unexpected” ‘Sweet Chin Music’ by Shawn Michaels, to give up his title to Jericho.
